An «b!e and faithful advocate of true Republicanism—a

Ills hand was ever open to the wants of the distressed.
The generous sympathies of his soul were ever alive to
the calls of sutfering humanity. Himself a pattern of
nvtiioile, be couM still look on the faults of others with
an indulgent eye-but rice never failed to meet hi
Mitiniing frown. In his intercourse with the world
he w courteous, affable, benevolent. But in the so
cial emlo— in the bosom of Iiih family, will Ins loss be
most severely felt. To them lie was a parent, an ad
vli* r, a friend. He participated in their pleasures, and
the lurtuence of his kindly feelings set ved to heighten
w*« ii d* lights. Nor w as Ins ear deaf to the tale of
Tin In ait surcharged with the bitterness of grief, was
.-ure to find in his sympathetic hosorn, a halm for it
wounds, and consolation for its sorrow. Rut he needs

and tiicy only, can d i justice to Ins memory.

On Tuesday at l” o’clock the Governor's Message
wan transmitted to both branches of the Legislature.
It ia a plain statement of facts, and written in a style
ofclearnezs and simplicity that will make it intelligible
to nil claws of readers. We have not room, nor ia it
cessary, todcseant on the merits,orattempt todetect
faults that muy be found in this message. We will
leave this for the wise heads of our brother editors,
who as they are actuated by political feelings, will find
matter both for commendation and censure. The in
tense interest manifested by the people of this State
the questions about to be brought before the Legis
lature, will insure it a reading. Its great length ren
it impossible for us to give it entire in this paper.
The remainder shall appear next week.
lire in Franklin College.—At half past two o’clock
n Saturday morning la*-t, the new College wan discov
ered to he on fire. Instantly the cry was raised and
the hells rung, but before the students w ere apprised of
their danger, or scarcely anyone had arrived at the
scene of conflagration, a large port of the roof was en
veloped in flames. There w as now no hope of saving
he building, and efforts were made to remove the pro
perty, but as a large portion of the persons assembled
wern unacquainted w ith the interior of it, and conse
quently reluctant to venture into the upper rooms,
these eflVuta were only partially successful. In the
mrth story particularly,.the loss of private property
nos very great. * What could be saved was soon re
moved, and then all ©yea were turned to witness the
.rogress of the devouring el* ment. It was a fearful
iclit. The. crackling and falling of timbers, the sheet*
•I flame as they burst from one window after another,
(fusing their lurid glare around, and roaring fierce and
liglith.llv, broke in upon the stillness of night with
i sound that sent a thrill of horror through every bo
uni. It was neatly three hours before the building
vna consumed ; and when the flames had died away
nd the rear had ceased, it was at that darkest heurof
flight which precedes the light of morning,and which by
its striking contrast with the previous unnatural bright

of rattle a few miles out of town, and had come in to
make sale for them. He also pretended to have flour

morning lit. was aliont town trying to dispose of these
articles, but they not having arrived, he conclodcd to

•Vets York, Oct. 7.—The Florida,Liverpool
packet,brings London papers ofthe 1st nit. fur.
nishing Paris dates of the 30ih August. The
most important intelligence brought by this ar
rival, ia that of the disturbances at Brussels,
which broke out on Wednesday the 25th of
August. The people of Brussels are discon
tented with tl.u present government, and
among the causes of this discontent, are the
alleged partiality of the King for Hollanders
in appointments to offtco, and his lute severe
measures against tho liberty of ike Press.
Tho preparations for illuminations and rejoi
cings on the King’s birth-day, excited some
sensation among tho people, which was still
further inflamed by somo injudicious articles
in the government papers. On the evening of
the 25th, n favorite play, La Muette do Porti-
ci, had attracted a vast audience to the thea
tre. After tho representation was ended, the
people formed themselves into groups, and;
proceeded to the office of Le National, a min
isterial papor, the language of which had been
particularly offensive, the principal editor of
which is Libi Borguno, an Italian, n son of
the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s Minister. The
windows of tho offico wero first broken in,
after which the mob proceeded to the house of
the editor, who was fortunately not at home.
The furniture was demolished and the papers
destroyed. The police were restrained by
alarm from acting. Tho genedarmes were
told, that whilo they did not interfere, they
would bo let alone. Towards midnight, the
mob broke tho windows of the Ilall of Assize,
and about the same time, a party entered the
house of M. do KuvfT, the Directors of the
Police, in which they broke and destroyed
every thing they could lay hands on. About
one o’clock, the whole town was in alarm.
The troops go under arms, and some musket
shots were fired, which only exasperated tho
populace. They ran to the Hotel of Van
Maanen, the Ministers of Justice, a Holland
er, crying Down with Van Maanen, set fire to
the building, defied tho troops, and kept the
Bremen from extinguishing tho conflagration.
Tho morning of the 26th found the multi
tude armed with swords nnd guns, which they
had forced tho owners of ships to deliver them
Engagements look place in various parts of
the city, belwcon thorn and tho government
troops, and blood was shed. The trees of
the streets were cut down for barticadoos.
The troops at length returned to their barracks
and some of tho more distinguished citizens
appeared to interpose between the combatants.
A body called the Garde Bourgeotse or Bur
ghers’ Guard was formed, which undertook to
preserve order, and occupied all the posts of
the town. On this day, the Burgomaster and
the Echevires announced to the people that
the Moutre, and odious tax on grinding corn,
was suppressed, and desired them to make
known to them their demands on the govern
ment, promising to unite their efforts in pro
curing them to be granted.
During tho 27th, no violence was commit
ted—tho Burgher’s Guard kept the town qui
et. The demands made by the Insurgents
aro said lo ho tiio following :
1. Tho complete execution of tho Lot
Fondamentale, or Charter, given by the Kin;
at his accession.
2. The dismissal of the M inister of Justico,
Van Maanen, nnd another member of the
Cabinet, together with some of the city audio
rities.
3. The equal division of officers between
tho two nations, the Belgians and the Dutch.
4. The establishment of tho chief tribunal

day by tho Rotterdam steam packet, up to
yesterday morning, state that disturbances
had broken out at Antwerp on Sunday eve
mug, when a number of young men paraded
the streets, crying out “ Vive In Revolution !”
Vive la Libcrto!” “A has les Ministers !"
“ Vive M. Potter!” etc. Tho troops were
called out, and four persons were killed nt
departure of the packet. The merchants and
burgeoiso had formed themselves into a guard
Tor tho protection of property. The King o!
the Netherlands, it is added, had left his pal
ace, at Lucken, and was assembling troops
with all possible speed with a determination
to proceed at the head of them to Brussels.
His object is said to bo rather to prevent the
spread of the movement in other princes than
to refuse moderate concession. The Queen
of the Netherlands steam packet, arrived at
Rotterdam, from London, on Saturday last
and was immediately seized by the Dutch
Government, os were several other vessels to
tow ships with troops to Antwerp. This ap
pears to be the most specific information
which has reached us through tho foregoing
questionable authority, such as that the F-
imprisoned a deputation from Bruces " j
among the four persons shot at Antwerp 2
tho son ofthe most considerable merchant r
that city. Brussels is said to be by this
completely surrounded by Dutch troops. a 1
it is thought that the army tinder the Princer-'
Orange will amount to 29,000 men.
Half past two.—The steam boat from 0s
tend has just arrived, filled with passenger"
flying from tho Netherlands in a state of grea*
excitement. There have also been tfisturhnn-
ces nt Bruges, which were quelled aft Pr
destruction of two or three houses. T|, p .
nernl opinion is, that the King will grunt most
of the concessions demanded.
Sept. 1, evening.—By n steam packet «hic!
nrrived late this afternoon,we have the follow!
ing important intelligence. The utmost ej.
citement reigns throughout the whole of Brjj.
bant. At Antwerp the Belgie flag had beer:
hoisted, nnd the town guard fired upon the
people and killed 40 or 60. At Rotterdam
seven steam boats were freighted to convey
260 men each to Antwerp. At the Hac u j
the King had refused to receive the deputies
from Liege and threw those from Brussels intc
prison. It was also reported that one ofihen.
had been shot by his orders. He had deter-
mined not to comply with the demands ofthe
people of Brabant, and had ordered 20,000
Dutch troops, under the commund of the two
princes, to proceed against Iho Belgians. At
Brussels all remained quiet.
There are some nlniming rumors from It.
uly, hut nothing like definite information has
been received.
Tho accounts from Spain are enveloped in
mystery, but enough has trunspired to prov*
that Ferdinand holds his sceptre by a foeble
tenure. Movements have taken place in Cata
lonia, and every thing announces, that impor
tant events are at hand.
Latest from Cadiz.—Capt. Watts, of tiio
iltip Lotus from Cadiz, arrived at New York,
nformed the Editors of the Journal of Com
merce that lie saw nt Cadiz a Gibraltar paper
of the 27th of August, which stated that Ferdi
nand had added two regiments of infantry to
his life guards, and lind fortified Ids Palace in
consequence ofthe arrival of Gen. Mina with
Ids followers nt Corunna. A revolution was
daily expected nt Cadiz, in which a large pat)
of the inhabitants was expected to participate.
Iho
adopted, one Chief is to receive $500 for|medium. Several things areasserted on more
TO THE PUBLIC.
T HF. FACULTY of College would respectfully no.
tify the Parents and Guardian* nf the Students,
that the conflagration of the new building, however se
rious, w id not interfere in the smallest degree with Mh*
regular duties of College. The cguish of instruction
will not be affeett-d, as every accommodation will bo
cady for the Students by the litHt of January. The It-
brory has it is true been destroyed, but we feel confi
dent from the munificence of the Legislature, that tbc
loss will be so far repaired by the opi ning of the next
term, as to prevent tiny injury Arising from it* destruc
tion. The ’Mathematical Instruments cun be ensile
replaced. The fine Philosophical Apparatus ami Che
mical Instruments are uninjured, and constqmmt!y
lull instruction in the higher classes can he given.
As to the personal accommodation of the young men,
no difficulty will exist, as the old building hitherto d ‘: ,
voted to tne residence of the two lower classes, is
uninjured, and will consequently contain all who now*
compose these classes, or whoinny come by the com*
mcnccinent ';f the next term. The two upper classes
will be accommodated with lodging and ttudy rooms
in private famihes or the hoarding houses in town, and
that without any additional charge, until the Colley *
building shall be repaired.
Tho faculty therefore trust, and with full confidence,
that the credit of the Institution with the Public, will
not be impaired, and that the patrnnapn of its friends,
will not be diminished. The Faculty therefore confide
in the return of all the Students on the first of January
next, to resume their regular duties. By order of the
Faculty. WILLIAM L. MITCHELL, Sc'y.
